BACKGROUND

Semiconductor image sensors are operated to sense light. Typically, the semiconductor image sensors include complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors (CIS) and charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors, which are widely used in various applications such as digital still camera (DSC), mobile phone camera, digital video (DV), digital video recorder (DVR), optical sensor (proximity sensor, ambient light sensor heart rate sensor, and optical sensing element (optical transceiver) applications. These semiconductor image sensors utilize single or an array of image/optical signal sensor elements, each image/optical signal sensor element including a photodiode and other elements, to absorb light and convert the sensed light into digital data or electrical signals. Thus, it is important for semiconductor image sensors to be able to have good light absorption abilities.

FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 are schematic cross sectional views of various stages in a manufacturing process of a semiconductor device structure according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1, in some embodiments, a substrate 110 is provided. The substrate 110 includes a surface 110 a. The substrate 110 is, for example, a semiconductor substrate. The substrate 110 may include, for example, silicon, strained silicon, silicon alloy, silicon carbide, silicon-germanium, silicon-germanium carbide, germanium, a germanium alloy, germanium-arsenic, indium-arsenic, group III-V semiconductors, organic plastic substrates, glass or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the substrate 110 may be a wafer and may include doped regions, such as p-type regions, n-type regions or a combination thereof.

Referring to FIG. 2, one or more devices 112 may be formed at the surface 110 a of the substrate 110. The devices 112 may be, for example, light sensing devices. In some embodiments, the devices 112 are formed in the substrate 110 (not shown). In FIG. 2, the devices 112 are shown to be formed on the surface 110 a of the substrate 110. In other embodiments, the devices 112 are not on the surface 110 a, but are formed in the substrate 110, and do not protrude out of the substrate. The devices 112 may include, for example, a pixel, a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD), a photo diode (PD), a photo transistor, a time of flight (ToF) camera, a photo gate, a pinned photo diode, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, additional semiconductor devices with different functions or integrated circuits may also be included on the substrate 110 or in the substrate 110. The scope of the disclosure is not limited to the embodiments or drawings described therein. Furthermore, the structure may only require one light sensing device 112 or an array of multiple light sensing devices 112. The number of light sensing devices 112 or configuration of multiple light sensing devices 112 may be adjusted according to user requirements.

Referring to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, a wiring structure 120 is formed on the surface 110 a of the substrate 110. In certain embodiments, the wiring structure 120 includes one or more contacts 122 connected to the devices 112 and metal interconnection patterns 124, 126, 128. In some embodiments, the contact(s) 122 is formed within the dielectric layer 121, and the metal interconnection patterns 124, 126, 128 are fabricated with one or more interlayer dielectric layers 123. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 121 may include a pre-metal dielectric layer, and the dielectric layer 123 may include one or more inter dielectric layers. The materials of the metal interconnection patterns 124, 126, 128 include, for example, aluminum, copper, copper alloys or any other suitable metal materials. The wiring structure 120 including the dielectric layers 121, 123, the contact(s) 122 and the metal interconnection patterns 124, 126, 128 may be formed in the back end of line processes.

Referring to FIG. 4, a passivation layer 130 is formed on the wiring structure 120. The passivation layer 130 having a top surface 130 a is deposited over the wiring structure 120. In some embodiments, the material of the passivation layer 130 includes, for example, silicon carbide (SiC), SiCN, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon oxide, a low-k dielectric material or combinations thereof, but is not limited by the above-mentioned materials. In some embodiments, the material of the passivation layer 130 is light transmissive, with an index of refraction greater than or equal to 2.0. The material of the passivation layer 130 may be selected according to the requirements or design of the products. In other embodiments, the passivation layer 130 is formed on a backside surface of the substrate 110 opposite to the surface 110 a (not shown).

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, in certain embodiments, a photolithography process and an etching process are performed towards the passivation layer 130 to form a plurality of microstructures 130 b. In some embodiments, a photoresist pattern 200 formed on the surface 130 a of the passivation layer 130. In some embodiments, the photoresist pattern 200 is formed by forming a photoresist layer through spin coating and then patterning by projecting light through a photo mask (not shown).

Referring to FIG. 6, in some embodiments, using the photoresist pattern 200 as the mask, the etching process is performed to remove a portion of the passivation layer 130 from the passivation layer 130 so as to form the microstructures 130 b. In some examples, performing the etching process includes performing at least one dry etching process and/or a wet etching process. Herein, a semiconductor device structure 100 is formed. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device structure 100 includes one or more CMOS image sensor devices, which are able to sense incident light or signals. Of course, the semiconductor device structure 100 may include other suitable light sensor devices for sensing incident light at different wavelengths. Although in certain embodiments the etching process is performed to form the microstructures 130 b as described above, the microstructures 130 b may be formed using a laser ablation technique or even mechanical ablation technology in some other embodiments. In other embodiments, the passivation layer 130 formed on a backside surface of the substrate 110 opposite to the surface 110 a (not shown) also performs the same steps in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 to form the microstructures 130 b. When formed on the backside surface, the structure may be suitable for backside illumination. When formed on the surface 110 a of the substrate 110, the structure may be suitable for front side illumination.

Furthermore, in some embodiments, the microstructures 130 b are formed to cover substantially the whole area of the passivation layer 130. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device structure 100 may further include an array of micro lens (not shown) disposed over the microstructures 130 b. In other embodiments, the microstructures 130 b are formed only at certain regions or sections of the passivation layer 130. In the case that the microstructures 130 b formed are only at one or more regions of the passivation layer 130, the region(s) formed with the microstructures 130 b is a light sensing region with light sensing devices below the light sensing region. That is to say, the microstructures 130 b are located in the light sensing region above the devices 112 (including light sensing devices) and are adapted to enhance the light absorption. In some embodiments, when the microstructures 130 b are located in the light sensing regions, the micro lens (not shown) may be disposed above and adjacent to the microstructures 130 b or on the microstructures 130 b. In some embodiments, the layout of the wiring structure 120 or the patterns of the metal interconnection patterns 124, 126, 128 are arranged aside of the light sensing region(s) or away from the light sensing region(s) (from the top view), and are not directly above the devices 112, so as not to obstruct light from reaching the light sensing regions.

FIG. 7 is an enlarged schematic cross sectional view of a passivation layer of a semiconductor device structure of FIG. 6. FIG. 8 is a tilted top view of the passivation layer of FIG. 7. Referring to FIG. 7 to FIG. 8, in some embodiments, each microstructure 130 b is formed with a cross-section shape of, for example, a triangle. However, in other embodiments, a cross-section shape of each microstructure 130 b is, for example, a trapezoid or arc, such as semi-circle or semi-ellipse (not shown). It is not limited that each of the microstructures has to have exactly the same shape and there may be certain variations of shapes among the microstructures. Furthermore, in certain embodiments, the shape of the microstructure 130 b is a cone shape as shown in FIG. 8. The shape of the microstructure 130 b may be a right pyramid shape, a triangular pyramid shape or any other suitable shape. FIG. 8 is a partial schematic view of the passivation layer 130. From FIG. 8, the microstructures 130 b are formed regularly with the same shape, dimension and pitch and are arranged in an array. In some other embodiments, the microstructures 130 b may be formed with different shapes, dimensions, pitches or patterns. The arrangement of the microstructures 130 b depends on user requirements or product designs. In addition, as seen in FIG. 7 to FIG. 8, the formed microstructures 130 b do not extend through the entire thickness of the passivation layer 130. The ratio of the height of the microstructures 130 b to the thickness of the remained passivation layer 130 that is not formed into parts of the microstructures 130 b is adjustable. In other embodiments, the microstructures 130 b can be formed extending through the entire thickness of the passivation layer 130 such that the height of the microstructures 130 b is substantially equivalent to the entire thickness or height of the passivation layer 130. The shape, configuration or dimension of the microstructures 130 b may be changed depending on, for example, the material of the passivation layer 130 or the wavelength(s) of incident light that is to be detected or sensed.

Further referring to FIG. 7 to FIG. 8, in some embodiments, the microstructures 130 b are formed with the arrangement that any two most adjacent ones of the microstructures 130 b are abutting with each other and the peripheries of the bases 130 c of adjacent microstructures 130 b are in direct contact with each other. The microstructure 130 b has a height h1, and a pitch w1 between any two most adjacent ones of the microstructures 130 b. In some embodiments, the height h1 is between 100λ and λ/100, and the pitch w1 is between 100λ and λ/100, λ representing a wavelength of an incident light 140. In some embodiments, the height h1 is greater than λ/2.5, and the pitch w1 is greater than λ/2. With the microstructures 130 b, a larger top surface area for receiving the incident light 140 is provided for multiple reflection, and an incident angle of the incident light 140 projected to the surface 131 of the microstructures 130 b is smaller than that of the incident light 140 projected to a flat surface of the passivation layer 130, so that most of the incident light 140 can pass through the microstructures 130 to be sensed by the devices 112. The reflection loss of the incident light 140 is reduced because the incident light 140 is multiply reflected and refracted by the microstructures 130 b and the reflection loss ratio keeps decreasing after multiple reflections and refractions within the microstructures 130 b. Hence, the absorption ratio of the incident light 140 is significantly raised. Furthermore, the light beam of the incident light 140 is narrowed by the designed multiple reflections from the microstructures 130 b.

FIG. 9 is an enlarged partial schematic cross sectional view of the passivation layer of FIG. 7. Specifically, as seen in FIG. 9, in some embodiments, the incident light 140 is incident on the microstructure 130 b so that part of the incident light 140 is refracted into and passes through the microstructure 130 b and part of the incident light 140 is reflected off the microstructure 130 b to become a first reflected light 142. The first reflected light 142 is then incident on an adjacent microstructure 130 b such that a portion of the first reflected light 142 is refracted into and passes through the adjacent microstructure 130 b and a portion of the first reflected light 142 is reflected off the adjacent microstructure 130 b to become a second reflected light 144. The second reflected light 144 is then incident on the same microstructure 130 b the incident light 140 was incident to, such that a portion of the second reflected light 144 is refracted into and passes through the microstructure 130 b and a portion of the second reflected light 144 is reflected off the microstructure 130 b to become a third reflected light 146. The third reflected light 146 is reflected in a direction away from the microstructures 130 b such that the light is lost. In certain embodiments, the incident light 140 refracted multiple times into the microstructures 130 b is absorbed by the underlying light sensing device. In some embodiments, the incident light 140 is also reflected multiple times to become the first, second and third reflected light 142, 144, 146 with decreasing reflection ratios. In exemplary embodiments, when the microstructures 130 b are made of silicon nitride (refraction index of 2.4), the incident light 140 from air (refraction index of 1.0) is also reflected multiple times to become the first, second and third reflected light 142, 144, 146 with reflection ratios of 0.169 (16.9%), 0.029 (2.9%) and 0.005 (5%). As the incident light 140 is reflected multiple times, the amount of light lost is reduced to only 5% of the third reflected light 146, which is significantly lower than that of the first reflected light 142 (if the incident light 140 was only refracted and reflected once and lost). That is to say, only 5% of the incident light 140 was lost, and 95% of the incident light 140 passes through the microstructures 130 b of the passivation layer 130 to be sensed or absorbed by the devices 112. The reflection paths of the incident light 140, the first reflected light 142, the second reflected light 144, and the third reflected light 146 described in the drawings are exemplary, as the reflection/refraction paths and the transmission/reflection rates of the light may vary depending on the incident angle and the indexes of refraction of the materials at the interface (reflection law and Snell's law). The material of the microstructures 130 b and the incident angle of the incident light 140 affect the light reflection/refraction paths. The aforementioned light path is merely exemplary to show that the microstructures 130 b allow the absorption ratio of the incident light 140 to be significantly raised. In addition, through the microstructures 130 b the beam width of the incident light 140 is also narrowed.

FIG. 10 is an enlarged schematic cross sectional view of a passivation layer of a semiconductor device structure according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 10, the passivation layer 230 with the microstructures 230 b is adapted to be formed on the semiconductor device structure 100 in FIG. 6. The difference between the passivation layer 230 and the passivation layer 130 in FIG. 6 is that in the passivation layer 230, in the operation of forming the microstructures 230 b, the bases 230 c of any two most adjacent ones of the microstructures 230 b are separated from each other. That is to say, the bases 230 c of the microstructures 230 b are not adjoined. As shown in FIG. 10, each microstructure 230 b has a height h2, and a pitch w2 is formed between any two adjacent ones of the microstructures 230 b. In some embodiments, the height h2 is between 100λ and λ/100, and the pitch w2 is between 100λ, and λ/100. In some embodiments, the height h2 is greater than λ/2.5, and the pitch w2 is greater than λ/2. The microstructures 230 b are not adjoined based on user requirements. Similar to the microstructures 130 b in FIG. 7, the microstructures 230 b in FIG. 10 also allow an incident light (not shown) to be multiply refracted, and then pass through to be absorbed by the devices 112. Hence, the absorption ratio of the incident light is significantly raised. In addition, through the microstructures 230 b the beam width of the incident light is also narrowed. An incident light is not shown in FIG. 10 as a similar light path can be referred to in FIG. 7.

FIG. 11 is an enlarged partial schematic cross sectional view of a plurality of passivation layers of a semiconductor device structure according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 11, FIG. 11 shows a plurality of passivation layers 130 stacked on top of each other. The passivation layers 130 are the same as the passivation layer 130 shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. That is to say, in the embodiment of FIG. 11, additional passivation layers 130 are formed on the single passivation layer 130 shown in FIG. 6, and the embodiment is applicable to the semiconductor device structure shown in FIG. 6. FIG. 11 only shows two of the microstructures 130 b on each of the passivation layers 130 as a partial schematic view. As seen in FIG. 11, in some embodiments, a total of three passivation layers 130 with the microstructures 130 b are shown. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the number of passivation layers 130 may be adjusted according to user requirements. The additional passivation layers 130 are formed layer by layer similar to the description of the formation of the passivation layer 130 in FIG. 6. That is to say, the photolithography process and the etching process are performed during each formation of the microstructures 130 b of the passivation layers 130. The microstructures 130 b of one passivation layer 130 are formed first, and then another passivation layer 130 is deposited and patterned to form the microstructures 130 b on the additional passivation layer 130. As seen in FIG. 11, in some embodiments, the microstructures 130 b of each passivation layer 130 are aligned with each other in a stacking direction of the passivation layer 130. To be specific, as seen in FIG. 11, the microstructures 130 b of each passivation layer 130 are aligned in a vertical direction. With this configuration, the microstructures 130 b of the stacked passivation layers 130 allow an incident light 150 to be multiply refracted, and then pass through to be absorbed by the devices 112. Hence, the absorption ratio of the incident light 150 is significantly raised. Specifically, similar to the light path of the incident light 140 in FIG. 7, the incident light 150 also reflected and refracted multiple times as shown in the light path 150 a of the incident light 150. Furthermore, as the incident light 150 passes through the microstructures 130 b of the stacked passivation layers 130, the light beam of the incident light 150 is further narrowed such that the stacked passivation layers 130 are a stacked optical collimator.

FIG. 12 is an enlarged partial schematic cross sectional view of a plurality of passivation layers of a semiconductor device structure according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 12, the embodiment of FIG. 12 is similar to the embodiment of FIG. 11, and the same description is not repeated herein. The difference between the embodiment of FIG. 12 and the embodiment of FIG. 11 is that in the embodiment of FIG. 12, the microstructures 330 b of each passivation layer 330 are alternately aligned with each other in a stacking direction of the passivation layer 330. To be specific, as seen in FIG. 12, the microstructures 330 b of each passivation layer 330 are alternately aligned in a vertical direction such that a microstructure 330 b of a passivation layer 330 is between two adjacent microstructures 330 b in the above passivation layer 330. Similar to the embodiment of FIG. 11, the stacked passivation layers 330 of FIG. 12 narrow an incident light beam (not shown) to be a stacked optical collimator. In the embodiments of FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the microstructures 230 b of FIG. 10 may also be applied. Furthermore, the microstructures in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 may be any suitable shape or arrangement on each passivation layer. The disclosure is not limited thereto.

FIG. 13 is a schematic cross section view of a semiconductor device structure according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 13, a semiconductor device structure 200 is similar to the semiconductor device structure 100 in FIG. 6. Similar elements are referenced with the same reference numerals. The same description is not repeated herein. The difference is that the semiconductor device structure 200 further includes an antireflective layer 160. The antireflective layer 160 is coated on the microstructures 130 b after the microstructures 130 b are formed. The antireflective layer 160 further reduces that amount of light that is reflected. That is to say, the antireflective layer 160 improves the absorption ratio of the incident light, and reduces the amount of incident light lost to reflection. In the embodiments, of FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the antireflective layer 160 may also be coated on the topmost passivation layer 130, 230 of the stacked passivation layers 130, 230. Of course, the antireflective layer 160 may also be omitted is desired by the user. A material of the antireflective layer 160 is, for example, magnesium fluoride fluoropolymers, or any other suitable material. In addition, in the embodiments of FIGS. 10, 11, 12, and 13, the microstructures formed can extend through the entire thickness of the passivation layer 130 such that the height of the microstructures 130 b is the entire thickness or height of the passivation layer 130. The parameters of the microstructures formed may depend on the material of the passivation layer or the configuration of the semiconductor device structure.
